The HD-A30 takes the performance and convenience of HD-DVD to the next level. For the highest level of picture quality with high definition TVs, the HD-A30 adds 1080p output for twice the resolution of a 720p signal. The HD-A30 is equipped with CE-Link HDMI-CEC connectivity. This convenient feature offers the capability to communicate with and control another HDMI-CEC compatible device all with one controller. 1080p/24 frames per second support offers a smoother, more film-like, viewing experience. The HD-A30 HD DVD player maintains this frame rate, allowing you to enjoy movies in their native frame rate. High definition playback delivers 720p/1080i/1080p resolution, up to six times the resolution of DVD. Leading-edge efficient video compression standards make it possible to experience the full potential of your HDTV. Advanced audio, including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD (core only), along with legacy formats including Dolby Digital and DTS bring an increased sonic realism to movie soundtracks. Slim chassis cosmetic design is only 59.5 mm and features a sleek high gloss, black acrylic faceplate. Web-Enabled capability opens a whole new world of entertainment experiences that can include access to exciting studio-provided enhanced features. Ethernet connection allows your HD DVD player to receive updates to support future applications and services. This player is not compatible for use with Blu-Ray discs. Dimensions - Width 16.9 x Height 2.34 x Depth 12.9 Weight - 7.26 pounds

Summary: Not worth the money
Comment: I purchased this unit prior to HD market dissolving; have gotten new firmware from Toshiba; but problems still persist. Movies freeze up both HD and regular DVD. Some regular DVDs do not play at all. I would not recommend this product unless you do not mind the freeze ups.

Summary: HD Play
Comment: Excellent machine. Good quality signal, and easy to set up. Very good, though not perfect instruction manual. Amazon affiliated dealer service and delivery were excellent!

Summary: Quite the bargain.
Comment: For the price I paid for the HD-A30 (open box/refurbished), I'd say I got quite the bargain. The only criticism I have is that the item did not come in a box at all. It was enclosed it a static bag (or some sort of plastic bag that all electronics seem to be wrapped in once you open the box) and placed in a standard amazon box with airbags/bubblewrap. I don't seem to recall seeing in the item description that the box was not part of the package. In the end though there was no shipping damage. After a quick firmware update the HD-A30 was ready to go.

Summary: Toshiba HD-A30 1080p HD DVD Player
Comment: I got this HD-DVD player right after Toshiba discontinued production when it lost the battle with Sony's Blu-ray. I like this player especially the ability of upconverting regular DVDs. The only thing negative is that it won't play MP3 CDs. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

Summary: great price for a good player
Comment: this is a very good player for HD and SD DVDs... I have had problems playing SD DVDs at 1080p/24 though, which might just be because this player lacks the horse power to do the up-conversion while forcing play at 24fps... I know the hd-a35 does do this well.. but it has a better video processor.. regardless at 1080p/60 everything works great, SD DVDs look great and so do HD DVDs... I switch over to 1080p/24 for HD DVDs and they are so silky smooth.. for $99 on a refurb, I can't complain at all. :)
